On Wednesday August 24th, we hosted our 6th Annual Charity Golf tournament and it was another great success! What started as a rainy day, suddenly turned into an enjoyable afternoon of golf. We had in excess of 100 golfers and many fantastic prizes. At the end of the day, a great time was had by all and the proceeds from this years event ended up surpassing last year. Thank you again to the members of the Golf Committee and all the volunteers. Without your hard work and tremendous efforts, this would not have been possible! To read our newsletter

GET HELP 24/7
Durham Region has a line available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to help children, youth and their families - Durham Region Crisis Response.
Children, youth, under 18 or their family members can call if a person under 18 is experiencing a crisis that is not life-threatening, but requires immediate intervention.
That could include suicidal feelings, depression, anxiety, aggression, and/or refusal to go to school or social isolation. Crisis workers who handle the calls are specially trained to de-escalate and stabilize the situation, then help the caller develop a crisis management and safety plan.
The workers also provide information about mental health services in the community, make referrals and provide advocacy if needed.
The response line is facilitated by Chimo Youth and Family Services, Durham Mental Health Services, Frontenac Youth Services and Kinark Child and Family Services.
Durham's crisis response line can be reached by calling 905-666-0483 or 1-800-742-1890.
